    Product Contact Point for Construction – Germany

    We support you in identifying the relevant provisions for your construction product.

    Under the Construction Products Regulation, Product Contact Points for Construction, or PCPCs for short, have been set up throughout Europe to enable companies to quickly gather reliable and precise information about the law in force in the Member State in which they intend to market their construction product.

We provide information about the national and European provisions that apply to your construction product and its installation in Germany. Further, we provide information on how the applicable EU harmonisation legislation with regard to construction products is implemented and enforced in Germany.
